ton the abuses upon the ballot aud the
violent methods which pervert the senti-
ment Of one-half those states, 1t places on
level the cause of the Irish patriots and
the cause Of the bulldOzers, who rule by
intimidation and fraud. 1t belittles home
rule by comparing It to great crime,
through which meager minority seek TO
usurp the powers OF sixty millions Of peo-
pie.
The home rulers OF Ireland have never
sought to abridge the rights OF other clti-
zeIs. They have never driven from theN

ment, chance to reform abuses, II they
exist, and to institute improvements as
they may be suggested. Give them homr
rule as IL exists In most OF the United
States, and their yearninE would he salts
fed. They would be content with much
less Of representative government than the
federal constitution Is supposed to guar
antee. They would be happy in return to
guarantee equal rights and fair treatment
for all. That is why the Republican party
favor home rule for Ireland.
The ruling minority Of the south have
home rule to It's fullest extent, but in re.
turn they do not accord equal rights am
fair treatment for all. They make no de
pial of their purpose to rulo the majority
peaceably If they can, otherwise II the
majority demand an equal share In home
rule They clamor for home rule, that
through II they may perpetuate the rule OF
the mob. They lift their voices high against
any effort TO interfere with home rule, whig
engaged in the very act Of sitting the voice
of the majority.
In one.half the southern states there is no
such thing as home rule. Iti the rule Of
terrorism which prevails. 1t is despotisU
as bad as that by which Great Britain
smothers the voice OF Ireland. The Repub-
llcan party upholds the principle OF home
rule everywhere. Its influence will pro
mote II in iceland doubtless, and its legis
lation will enforce It In the south just a.
surely as other progressive measures have
been enforced by It. No republic can long
flourish under the usurpation of vicious
minority, and this republic Is not ready 10
conniye at It's own dissolution.

If grasping at straws is Assign OF drown
ing, the Democratic editors must think
their party pretty near the bottom OF the
sea. There is one free trade journal, the
Chicago Tribune, which adheres to the Re-
publican party. 1t is the only Republican
journal which has taken the Presidents
view as against Mr.. Blaine in the revenue
controversy. At once the Democratic ed
itors proclaim wide division in the Re-
publican party. To prove this, they daily
parade paragraph from the Tribune, some
times In reduced and again In an inflated
form, but always from the same article.
To add variety and give It spice, at times T.
is given 10 bold faced type orwIth glarIng
headline. This is pleasing entertainment
for tie average Democratic editor, and as
lopg as 1t Is haInltss, let them enjoy their
straws. Tie Republican press, like the
Republican party, next year VIII be unan-
imous for revenue reform On The line of
protection to American interests.

KING LUDwIe,s GIFT.
The Eccentric Ruler Makes n Present
of a $4,000 watch.

Herr Ernst Possart, the great German
actor, who has just arrived In this country,
and began an engagement in New York last
night, has decorations by the score con-
ferred by an equal number OF crowned
heads. Several Of them he wears suspended
about his neck, but the greater number he
keeps In specially made casket.
Among the decorations are those con-
ferred by the emperors OF Germany and
Austria, the Duke Of SAKE. Melningen, aud
the late King Ludwig OF Bavaria. A month
previous to the eccentric Ludwig's death,
Possart played Narcisse In the private the.
atre at the Kings castle just outside Of
Munich. The performance occurred on
May 8, and was given with the eccentric
monarch constituting In himself the entire
audience. IL was the twentieth annual
performance Of "Narcisse" given by Pos
sart and the company belonging to the Hoi
Theatre OF Munich, under the same unusual
conditions. Upon Its conclusion, the king
presented the actor with watch, chain, and
most costly ever manufactured.
The two heavy gold cases OF the watch
glitter with innumerable diamonds, sap
phires, and rubles. The front case bears the
name "Ludwig" In diamond script letters
Beneath this the kings crown is reproduced
In precious gems. The caee is also set
round with diamonds and sapphires. On
the back case is wrought the kings crest,
with more diamonds and sapphires sur
rounding it. The chain is in twenty-five
pieces OF heavy gold made into the shape OF
Of ieurs do lis and marshal's stats, Each
aeur de lie is set with q large sapphire, and
the staffs with smaller ones. The locket
contains the last picture painted of King
Ludwig, and is the work OF Muller, OF
Munich. The locket's case, both back and
front, is aglow with gems. There are about
1876 sapphires employed, and diamonds
almost beyond count. Tiffany's people
declare the watch and belongings to be
worth $4,000.

A Popular Writer.


While In Washington last week, we made
an arrangement with Mr.. Joseph Bradlield,
by which that gentleman will be acontribu-
tor to the Signal during the present session
Of Congress.
Mr.. Brodfeld's remarkable and successful
controversy with ex- Congressman Reid las,
year won for him state reputation as
political writer. He has for several years,
however, been well known In the Piedmont
section.
Messrs. Keogh and Boyd, OF Greensboro,
thus speak OF him: "Mr. Bradaeld has at
tained wide and enviable reputation iu
North Carolina as newspaper writer. He
is man OF intellect which has been well
trained, and possesses large store Of gen
sral and political knowledge. His wrltings
are chaste. and exceedingly strong in ex-
preston"
Judge Settle says: "Mr. Bradfeld has fol
several years been an occasional correspOn-
dent Of the North Carolina papers, and his
articles have always attracted marked al
ttntion. In q word, he is one OF the very
best writer's within the range Of my acquaint.
ence."
And Mr.. Charles A. Reynolds, of Win,
ston, gives his Endorsement as follows: "No
man within the range of my acquaintance
has earned better reputation as u writer
than Mr.. Bradlleld. His ability to grasp the
salient points of controversy is unsur-
passed, his general information Is extensive
and accurate, and his style of writing Is
clear, strong, and persuasive"

TIE Yleksburg Nerald in 1877 said:

At Aberdeen last Saturday Col. Lamar mad
nm eloquent speech. A better nemOcrltu
speech we do not care to listen 10; and IN manly
and ringing tones he declared that the CON
test involved the supremacy Of the uncon.
quered ana unConquerable Saxon race. We
were glad to hear this bold and manly ayowal,
and 1t was greeted with deafening plaudits.
We have never seen men more terribly in
earnest, and the Democratic white-line speech
made to them by Col. Lamar aroused them TO
white heat.
And the same paper contained the fol-
lowing;
Ifthe killing of anybody is necessary, we
repeat what we have heretofore said-Lot the
poor negro pass, and let the white scoundrels
who have fired his heart with evil passions
be the only sufferers.

PERRY SMITH REPUDIATED
Jersey Democrats say He is Not q
Citizen OF that stated

A special from Trenton, N. j., to the
Philadelphia Press says that Perry G.
Smith, the alleged Jerseyman who was ap.
pointed to succeed Eugene Higgins in the
Treasury at Washington, has been very
much discussed by the Democratic politi.
clans Of tho State. He has beeu given q
snug berth, yet no one seems to know him,
ard the Democrats want to know why
such an appointment should be given to an
unknown man who has done nothing for
the party. Smith has been chief disburs.
ing officer OF the Postoflice Department,
and is put down as coming from New
jersey. He Is not New Jersey man by
any means. He halls from Wisconsin.
For short time he boarded at Woodbury.,
Gloucester county. That gave him right
to give his place Of residence from that
state. He is also q warm friend OF General
Villas, who brought him to Washington and
gave sbim his position In tho Postofllce,
General Villas had some reason for not
wishing to credit Smith to his native state,
so he worked him on New Jersey.
This trick has raised the ire OF the Demo
Gratis, and they have brought pressure to
bear on Senator MCPHERSON, who intends
to see that he is not credited to this state
Gen. Villas, In quitting the Postoflice De-
pertinent, did not care to leave Mr.. Smith
TO the mercy Of bis successor, and so had
him transferred to the Treasury Depart
ment, where Secretary Fairchild, who ie
said TO be relative, will take care OF him.

most vivaeious contest has for O long time
been going on in Louisiana between the partl.

Nichols, both candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. 1t is isimpossible no.
TO be convinced by reading the McEnery
papers and the Nichols papers that both can

ton. We don't know how they will arrange IT,
hut the fact seems clear.
On the contrary careful reading Of Gov.
McEnery's opening speech at Monroe, La,

MAKING THE FIGHT HOT
For the Commissioners In Selecting tho
Mary Hall House.

Mary Hall House.
The action Of the District commissioners
in persisting in renting the Mary Hall house
for an Industrial and cooking school In
which to train colored children, In opposi-
ton to the earnest and repeated protests OF
the colored citizens, is likely to be produc-
tive Of further expression of dissatisfaction
on the part Of those who have fought
against leasing the house. Probably no
one knows better the wickedness Of the
locality where this house stands than the
commissioners themselves, as they have a
police force fully able to post them
on that point, and the reputation OF
the house Itself has long been common
talk In the commu-nity. Its immediate
surroundings are not of the kind likely to
improve the morals OF those residing in the
neighborhood, and the place might well be
the dread OF respectable fathers and moth
ers, who prefer their children shall go to
"a school house In any other section th an
this spot, which stands as blot upon the
city's good name. Few parents, loving
their children, Will care TO endanger their
future lives and their respect for truth
aud morality by subjectlDg them to the
dangers besettiDg the young, when forced
TO 60 among wayward women, thieves, aud
their companions and associates, The col
ofed people believe mat In leasing this
property against their desire, the commls-
sioners virtually deny TO them public
training and industrial school, as no re.
spectacle parents will permit their children
to attend any school kept there.
A number OF our most prominent col
ored citizens residing In the northwestern
part OF the city have met and agreed TO call
the parents, guardians, aud citizens In
teTested together at once and denouuce the
action OF the commissioners. II Is said that
they Will appoirt permanent committee
to procure the names OF the children who
may be sent to school Ia this infa Gous
locality, and Inform their parents and guar.
dams OF the character OF the place aud the
danger to which the commissioners propose
TO expose their children. At this Informal
meeting II is claimed that the true charac
ter Of the effort to procure the public school
funds to pay for the property was exposed,
ard it WIS determined that Congress aud
the people should be told to what base pur-
poses 1t was Intended to prostitute the
public school fund.
The call for the meeting Is a circular
letter to the pastors OF churches, and
petition 10 Congress praying an iuyestiga.
tion into the matter was agreed upon. The
subject viii also be brought up In the diff,
fCrent citizens associations The public
meeting will be called for Monday next II
was also agreed that a subcommittee should
report the amount Of money spent aud the
places selected for training and Industrial
public schools for the white children, and |
appeal to our white fellow -citizens TO loin |
with them In protesting against this act on |
the part of the commissioners.
